Information technology firm Indonesia Tower has tried out its Wimax technology, which is claimed to have better speed than 3G technology.

The test was held on Tuesday by conducting a videoconference among Information and Communications Minister Muhammad Nuh, Post and Telecommunication director general Basuki Yusuf Iskandar and commissioners of Indonesia Tower.

The trial ran smoothly with the allotted data transfer speed reaching 3 Mbps. Indonesia Tower's Wimax maximum data transfer speed is claimed to reach 24 Mbps. (***)

The whole infrastructure for Internet is one big blown up no-nonsense thing in Indonesia, very expensive and sure not giving what people already have for years in other parts of the world! Telkom, XL, Indosat with really bad customer service and only covering areas which is in their own interest read... there where their own employees and directors live. Telkom is not even able to cover Speedy in Kerobokan/Canggu Bali and their 3G/HSDPA is still miles and miles away. XL is making rotten deals with Centrin Online and pointing to eachother of delivering bad bad slow service... What a mess in Indonesia!!!! Shame on all those big companies dominating the market!
